The Omega Project

De: Steve Alten

Narrado por: Michael David Axtell

On the brink of a disaster that could end all human life on Earth, tech genius Robert Eisenbraun joins a team of scientists in Antarctica on a mission to Jupiter's moon Europa to mine a rare ore that can provide for Earth's long-term energy needs. But as he and the rest of the team train under the ice shelf in preparation for the long journey, trouble erupts. Before they embark, Eisenbraun finds himself the odd man out, and is put into cold sleep against his will.

When he wakes, Eisenbraun finds the ship deserted and no longer functional. He escapes to the surface of an Earth terribly changed. The plan has gone horribly wrong, but as he adapts to a hostile environment, he realizes that there is still a way to accomplish what the mission had set out to achieve. But he also discovers that he faces a new adversary of the most unlikely sort. Now his own survival, and that of the woman whose love has sustained him in his darkest hours, depends on the defeat of a technological colossus partly of his own making.

Confronting a foe that knows him almost as well as he knows himself, Eisenbraun faces the prospect of depending on resources he has reason to believe will be available on one particular night of a full moon - a night foretold by a mysterious, unseen ally to be a pivotal moment for the fate of the planet. The game has changed, and Earth's future depends on him and him alone.

The Omega Project is yet another edge-of-your-seat thriller by best-selling author Steve Alten and is sure to leave listeners looking for more.

Slow start... then... Fireworks

This book started like a space soap opera and my radar went up as to whether it was worth finishing. then: Boom the roallar coaster went over the edge and the ride continued whipping you around in an entertaining (for me) thrill ride. A true adventure when all is said and done!

A lot if good ideas that never quite come together

The author had a lot of intriguing ideas, but it felt like he couldn't quite settle into the story. The beginning and end of the book were chaotic, jumping from plot point to plot point. I found myself not caring about the outcome. The middle of the story was cohesive, but I didn't really find it as interesting as some of the other threads introduced by the author. As a result, I found myself disappointed in the book. Additionally, a lot of set-up and exposition didn't really pay off. Finally, the women in the story felt like accessories, only important because of how they affected the main character. We never got much insight into their motives, and it felt like they were inconsistent. Overall, the book wasn't bad, it just felt like it contained a lot of wasted potential. The performance was good, and it isn't the performer's fault, but his voice was a bit too soothing and I found it hard to concentrate at times.

interesting read

This book has alot to offer with many twists and turns along the way.

rabbit hole experience!!

great book lots of twist and turns. jump in the rabbit hole and get lost in this great book.

I enjoyed it. story was a little disjointed but..

I liked the story and the metaphysical aspect of the story was fine with me and the "messaging" that a lot of reviewers have been slamming the author about didn't really bother me. you have to have a Lot of disbelief in this story and just go for a ride with it. I did love the character Oscar. fun. but if you're looking for a straight path "realistic" hardcore sci-fi, might not be cup of tea. performance was really well read.

If you want to forget this world’s time being issues, you’ll love this book

It’s one of the best stories I e ever heard, it gets better and better as you listen🤙🏽

A struggle

Struggle to finish. A little to deep to enjoy. what is real and what is a dream.

NSFW

not my idea of science fiction. too much emphasis on female body parts and not enough sci-fi/adventure for my taste. not saying it's bad, just not for me.

Jerked Around

You spend half of the story talking about a make-believe world, then jerk us back and forth probably saying to yourself, "wow, wouldn't a twist here and another here be exciting." By the time I was done I was DONE - didn't care about the characters you spent the first part of the book developing. Lost my trust.

Wow what a good read

What an imaginations. Enthralling, Impulsive, Driving writing. I couldn't put this one down. Outstanding narrating to go along with the the book. Bravo.
